ESSAY: DIDACTIC ASPECTS OF ORGANIZATION OF EFFECTIVE INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL WORK OF STUDENTS

The problems of organization and control of effective individual work of students due to European requirements of fixation of laboriousness of learning activities were considered. On the example of one of the most common in practice of higher educational establishments kinds of individual work - writing an essay - didactic foundations of achievement of learning outcomes in a specific academic hour are represented

Модернізація української вищої освіти в контексті Болонського процесу

The article analyzes the problems of modernization of higher education in the context of the Bologna Process.It is noted that during the transition to credit-modular system Ukrainian universities face several challenges: significant difference in the curricula for bachelors and masters; remaining of “Specialist” qualification; organization of individual work of students; not solved issue of providing “internal” mobility of students and teachers; low level of financing and others. It is emphasized that further modernization process within the Bologna process involves expansion in Ukrainian higher educational institutions of practice of concluding of parity partnership bilateral agreements on compatibility educational plans and courses in accordance with the requirements of Ukrainian standards and high European quality of disciplines and directions of study.

The Depolymerization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) Using N-Heterocyclic Carbenes from Ionic Liquids

The depolymerization of the plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) is described in this laboratory procedure. The transesterification reaction used to depolymerize PET employs a highly efficient N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst derived from a commercially available imidazolium ionic liquid. N-heterocyclic carbenes are potent nucleophilic organic catalysts that provide an alternative to traditional metal alkoxide depolymerization catalysts. Deprotonation of the imidazolium generates an N-heterocyclic carbene, which catalyzed the glycolysis of PET in 1 h at atmospheric pressure in refluxing anhydrous tetrahydrofuran to afford bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET). BHET is characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and melting point determination. This laboratory is designed for individual student work where each student depolymerizes PET prepared from a common water bottle or other source. This experiment is well suited for an introductory organic chemistry laboratory course or a polymer chemistry laboratory course.

Apariencias y realidades en la aplicación de la approche communicative

Judging by the classroom planning programmes defined for secondary school teachers of French, the acceptance and implementation of the Communicative Approach have been exemplary. However, our observations of twenty-five schools revealed a somewhat different picture. We discovered conceptual confusion in the Official Guidelines and in the aims of the books, as well as a general lack of knowledge concerning the teaching of French as a foreign language. However, the main reason that the Communicative Approach has not been fully integrated into the classroom is the teachers’ lack of proficiency. We have carried out our own assessment of the sample, based on the main points of the teacher’s methodology questioned by the CEF. Of particular note was a tendency to follow only certain sections of the books, ignoring open-ended activities and individual student work. However, teachers feel the need to add more lexical and grammatical contents. Hence, the level is very low and the performance is poor.

Student portfolios and software quality metrics in computer science education

Cataloging of exemplars of an individual student's work is standard practice for certain disciplines, especially in creative, visually-oriented disciplines. These portfolios are often used during the interview and candidate identification phase of a student's job search. Recent trends have increased awareness and use of student work portfolios in scientific disciplines as well. While use of portfolios for interviewing purposes may never become standard practice in the field of computer science, we propose that there are nonetheless sufficient pedagogical advantages to be offered in the collection of student portfolios to make the effort of creating and maintaining them worthwhile. These advantages include the ability to conduct longitudinal studies of student performance, quantitative curriculum and course assessment, and prevention of forms of cheating which are not easily detectable by other means. In order to make optimal use of student portfolios, we also suggest use of automated software quality metrics. However, as there are no widely used pedagogically focused software metrics, we outline the requirements for such a metric.

Development of activeness and independence in students of senior grades by imparting new knowledge of humanities subjects

Bringing up a tomorrow’s communist person, a major part is played by humanities subjects. Therefore, along with restructuring the work of the whole school, it is essential to improve teaching of these subjects assuring that they will facilitate preparation for life, work and active participation in building of communism.
 This article dedicated to the analysis of imparting new knowledge in history and literature lessons in senior grades pays major attention to the development of students’ independence, activeness, deeper assimilation of knowledge and the methods up till now not enough applied in school practice, i.e. individual work of students with course books and other printed sources, application of various methods during the lesson to convey new material; the attention in the article is also drawn to the significance of students’ papers and vocal communication, organization of independent work of students by using other methods.
 By referring to experimental material, it is shown that students achieve creditable results by individual work with course book and other printed sources. The article analyses several methods of work with a course book. Concrete examples are analyzed to demonstrate how the previously studied material is revised and consolidated by conveying new one, how it is linked with the newly covered. This helps students to learn the lesson and avoid individual examination and assessment of knowledge at the end of the lesson. In such way, the template four-element structure of a lesson is altered and the best ideas and best practice of Lipeck district and other best schools are implemented.
 Through creative conveyance of new material in History and Literature lessons, all students can be active. For this purpose it is necessary to apply all methods known to school practice and the pedagogy science in such way as to ensure active and attentive work of all students and, in proper conditions, ensure their individual attempts to gain new information. When students are engaged in active work, their involvement in a subject increases, interests develop, they assimilate and consolidate the material during the lesson and all this cultivates their positive attitude towards individual subjects and learning in general.
